Dog Poop Bags Holder For Training Your Puppy

Walking your dog should be a pleasurable experience and the best way to ensure this is to familiarize your puppy and yourself with the leash and your dog poop bags holder as early as possible. Rather than needing to retrain your dog and yourself later, it is best to learn the skills right from the start. It is well worth the time to develop the skills now.

Always remember that you are the leader and it is up to you to lead your dog. Good communication is the key. Be consistent and make sure all of your family is consistent. It is a learning curve for everyone. Everyone needs to follow the same techniques or it will lead to total confusion for your puppy. Total training time may take up to two weeks and maybe longer. All dogs are different. Adapting to your particular pet and your patience are important.

*Familiarize Your Pup With A Collar

The first step in leash training is to get your puppy used to a collar. Pups are not used to having anything around their necks, so anything you place there will seem feel alien. Place it on your pup when he is eating or playing. Expect him to try to remove it by pawing at it or rolling around. Do not remove the collar is he is fighting against it or he will believe that he has won and he will continue to fight it. Continue with distracting him and he will eventually forget that the collar is on. You can take the collar off when he is settled down and relaxed. This process should be repeated throughout the day and eventually your puppy will be comfortable wearing the collar.

*Now Add The Leash

Once your puppy is happy wearing his collar, it is time to introduce the leash. Do not add the dog poop bags holder at this time. Attach a lightweight leash to your pup's collar and let him roam around the house. Some puppies seem overwhelmed by an entire leash at first. If so, you can start with a string, shoelace or something similar. Let your pup wander around the house and play with it. Keep an eye on him so he doesn't become entangled. If your puppy fusses over the leash by biting or pawing at it, simply try your best to distract him with food or play. Do not remove it if he is obsessed over it or he will think that he has won.

After your puppy becomes comfortable with the leash, you can pick up the other end of it. Make these first sessions short, sharp and fun. Always make sure you are holding the leash loosely. You are probably already aware that your puppy loves to follow you around the house - that is good and use this to help with the training. If your puppy is walking beside you on a loose leash, give him plenty of praise and maybe a treat. When he strains on the leash, stop immediately. Do not yank him back over to you with the leash. Call him back to you and praise him when he comes. Never keep walking if your pup is straining on the leash - this only reinforces his bad habit and rewards his behavior. If you simply stop when your pup strains, he will learn that if he pulls on the leash, he will get nowhere. He will quickly learn that if he wants to continue walking he must be at your side on a loose leash. This also applies if your puppy sits down when you are walking. Do not yank him up. Simply call him over to you and reward him with praise and a treat and set off walking again with your pup on a loose leash at your side. Follow this method and you will have a nice loose leash and no pulling from you or your dog.

*Attach Dog Poop Bags Holder

Now you are ready to venture outside. Attach your dog poop bags holder at this time. It is a fantastic dog leash accessory. There are many great varieties available. Some are attached up near the loop of the leash. Others are attached down near the collar of the dog or possibly mid-leash. Some of the newer holders can be moved to various positions. Make sure your poop pouch contains a supply of empty poop bags.

There will be more distractions for your puppy outside. Start on a driveway or sidewalk where the distractions are minimized. Repeat the methods you have practiced indoors. If your pup starts to pull, simply stop in your tracks. He will eventually learn that you are the one leading. When he is doing a good job remember to praise him with encouraging words and a treat.

If your pup decides to squat and dispel his poop, you will always be prepared with your dog poop bags holder. Simply remove one of the dog poop bags, invert it, pick up the poop, re-invert it, tie a knot in the bag and gently place it back in your poop pouch. Simply apply the hand sanitizer which is conveniently available in your pouch to ensure your hands are clean. The necessity of sanitizing our hands after handling dog poop is becoming increasingly common as the health hazards of dog waste are becoming widely known. This is a practice which you must learn from the start and it will then become a routine habit for you. The other commonsense habit you have gained by using your poop bags holder is to carry your full dog poop bags in a secure pocket where they are protected from breakage. Finally, you have learned to discreetly carry your poop bags down the street in a designer dog poop bags holder, rather than having them dangling unsafely and disgustingly from your hand or your leash. Picking up puppy waste has become more convenient, discreet and sanitary and as your puppy grows, picking up dog waste will follow the same pattern.

One of the key things to remember in all of this new training is that if you start early, it will make everything easier later on in your pet's life. If it seems like a lot of effort, you are absolutely correct. Raising a puppy is a lot of effort. Your puppy and you are constantly learning. It is actually less work, much more fun and more successful in the long haul to shape the learning in the right direction. If you do a good job of conditioning your puppy to use the leash, you have already tackled many important dog behaviors. If you do a good job of instructing yourself in the many benefits of using a dog poop bags holder you have also tackled many personal, community, legal and health issues which you will encounter as a dog owner.
